Course Description

January 1, 2024 is a significant date in the calendar for BC’s construction industry, as new WorkSafeBC regulations impacting workers in not only residential, but virtually all industry sectors, will go into effect. To ensure members are informed about these important updates, HAVAN is presenting this webinar recording, led by the BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA).

In this course, Ammar Kavazovic, Director, Programs & Initiatives, and Sara Knights, Programs & Initiatives Specialist with BCCSA will provide an overview of the new laws which will require concrete pump operators to be competency certified, and the mandatory training and licensing for asbestos abatement workers and companies. As a builder or renovator, understanding these new regulations will help ensure your workers stay safe.
